' 4 Huron -Bruce PC's get last minute candidate A man who decided only the day before to seek public office, Monday night was — chosen as the Progressive Conservative candidate in Huron -Bruce riding for the June 9 Ontario election. N.J. (Sam) MacGregor, of RR' 1, Kincardine, was the only person nominated at the riding association's nomination meeting in K incardine. The 43 -year-old land developer said he decided Sunday afternoon he would seek the nomination. MK. MacGregor said he accepted the nomination "with some reservations" as he understands the "for- midable" job ahead of him. Huron -Bruce riding has been represented by Liberal Murray Gaunt for the last 15 years. Mr. MacGregor referred to him as .'a "per- sonal friend" who has represented the riding with "credibility". But the riding derves to be represented by a member of the,provincial legislature who sits on the government side of the house, Mr. MacGregor said. The provincial Liberal leader Dr. Stuart Smith doesn't have the credibility that the sitting member for Huron -Bruce has, he said, but Premier William Davis does. He predicted that Mr. Davis will lead the Con- servatives to another election 'victory in Ontario. Mr. MacGregor _said Huron -Bruce riding is im- portant to the province in both energy and food production and its ,im- portance can be recognized if it is represented by an MPP who sits with the government. Concerning the riding's significant energy produc- tion, at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development, he said Business..... it should be assessed ob- jectively to show where that energy should be taking the province. Such objective assessment is not being made by op- position criticism, he said. Huron -Bruce is also a significant riding for food production and deserves representation on the Davis team so its affairs can be looked after, Mr. MacGregor said. Mr. MacGregor, who said he has "always been a Tory", first moved to the Kincardine area in 1960. He worked as an electrician for Ontario Hydro at Douglas Point for five years before becoming a tourist developer. Since that time he has become the major land developer in the Kincardine area. Mr. MacGregor was nominated by Bill Walden, of Wingham, the unsuccessful Conservative candidate in the 1975 provincial election. Mr. MacGregor was Mr. Walden's campaign manager. Mr. MacGregor realizes that he faces a tough cam- paign against incumbent Murray Gaunt. He said: "There's no sense taking on someone who's easy so here we go." The Conservative cam- paign will officially be kicked off this Saturday.

Already a number of people have shown great interest in the market and several older people have decided not to plant gardens this year, but rely on the market instead.

Due to lack of refrigeration facilities, poultry and meat cannot be sold, but the market is hoping to get this for next year. Also if electricity can be found, the market will also have a coffee shop for the customers.
